1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Approximately 40% of patients with heart failure show cognitive deficits, such as concentration difficulties, attention deficits, and memory impairment. Affected patients have a higher rate of rehospitalization and an increased mortality. This could be due to low adherence mediated by a lack of disease-specific knowledge and strategies to deal with symptom exacerbation. The pathogenesis of cognitive deficits in heart failure is multifactorial. In this respect the heart failure itself as well as cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities play a role. Orientating neuropsychological screening tests can show a first indication of the presence of cognitive impairment. When identified, the causes can be specifically treated and care can be optimized through certain measures, such as the involvement of caregivers and healthcare providers.
